455. Dismount
Esta didn't want to say more polite words to him, so after greeting him, he didn't say politely to him, and said directly: "Pope Hughes, I have come here to meet with you for one thing: how much tax are you Crusades going to pay to my government every year?" ”
I don't know if the Pope heard it clearly, anyway, after listening to what Ishtar said, he was directly stunned: "Wait, Your Excellency, why do you call me?" Pope Hughes? What do you mean, do you want me to teach and pay taxes to the government? ”
"Is it wrong to call you the Pope?" Istta's expression was flat, and he said with great certainty: "According to the official announcement, the Federation will no longer exist in the future, and it will be renamed: Tyranid Empire." I will be the Emperor of the Tyranid Empire, and only one! As a member of the country, are you not willing to do your part for the country? ”
Ishtar is not a believer, and he definitely does not come to the Holy City to pray, and the purpose has already been said, it is for money!
Of course, he's a very vindictive person. You, an old immortal guy, cursed Lao Tzu to hell some time ago, *** but it's all in the mind.
Maybe in his heart now, he may be snorting coldly: "As long as the time is ripe, Lao Tzu will destroy your Cross Sect!" ”
It's good to say a little bit earlier, suffering a dumb loss, which is something that the situation forces me to do. It's okay to be called "Pope" now, after all, after the Battle of the Three Emperors in history, religious leaders are indeed not "emperors". But the last one, asking for money from the Crucifixion? This is definitely the first time since ancient times!
Pope ~ Sect, right! Pope Hughes said: "Since the founding of the Church of the Cross, it has followed the teachings of God Jesus to do good deeds and accumulate virtue to save the world, and to die in the place of the original sin of mankind."
"Stop!" Who wants to hear this old god talk about? Ishta's face turned cold: "Hughes religion, do you want to make me angry to be happy?" ”
The Pope shuddered, because Ista was right in front of him, and he could clearly feel the killing intent lurking underneath the other party.
Esta was naturally not good, and said to him coldly: "I am not your Crucifixion, so don't take anything about God and Jesus for me!" But if any of you want to go to God's old man's house, I don't mind giving you a ride. ”
Following his words, the soldiers guarding him pulled the bolt of their guns in unison.
He doesn't want to listen to the Pope's nonsense at all, and he's not a believer, so what kind of bullshit doctrine is bullshitting him, it's basically like bullshit.
Even though it was a holy city and full of believers, he was not afraid! Looking at the religion that had become silent at this time, he said even more coldly: "After the civil war in our country, we are in a state of ruin, whether it is any individual, or group or organization, all need to be reinvested in the construction of the country. Those who have money pay for it, and those who have the strength to work hard! Even if it is your Crucius, there is absolutely no exception. ”
After Esta said this, he leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs, waiting for the Pope's reply. He can definitely imagine that the Pope at this moment must be scolding him to death psychologically.
Because for countless years, no one has really heard of any government that would ask religion for money?
Pope Hughes trembled angrily for a long time, but gradually endured it. What Ishtar said just now, and the soldier neatly pulling the bolt of the gun, made him not abandon his reason.
After pondering for a moment, the Pope said: "Your Excellency, I wonder if you can give a standard? ”
Ista glanced at him, then waved to the people around him, and a copy of the manuscript was delivered to him, and after reading it, he said to the Pope: "Your Excellency, you have to listen. From now on, every church of the Cross Sect will have to be evaluated for value, and then according to our current collection order, a part of the conservation tax, land use tax, authorized use tax, etc., almost 72 tax items. ”
"Hey, don't stay there yet. Listen to me, you can rest assured that this is only a special period, and the procedures and projects may be a little complicated. When the Empire is on track, the Empire will issue a formal tax decree. ”
"Crucivalism, as the indigenous religion of our civilization, needs to be exhibited, and I will support this. In this way, every believer in the church should have them register, so that we can manage it in the future. ”
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, the Crucifixion seems to have to be worshiped every Sunday, right? In order to ensure social stability and security, large gatherings must be reported to the relevant authorities. When the time comes, you can learn from the relevant departments. ”
There are too many things to go into detail. Simply stuffed these thick stacks of documents into the Pope's hands: "You can read it slowly, if you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." ”
With these things in hand, I wonder how the Pope will feel about this?
Pope Hughes has lived a long time and can sit in the position of religious leader, which is definitely not something that a simple-minded person can do. He was already keenly aware that Ishtar was definitely trying to provoke him on purpose.
Obviously, he must have had some concerns, considering that the influence of the Cross Religion was huge, but it had more than one-sixth of the total population of the Federation. If this is not the case, why is there any excuse for the sin that you want to add? So what he has to do now is not to let Ishtar grab his handle, otherwise he will inevitably use this as an excuse to attack the Crucifixion!
I flipped through the things in my hand, although the contents of it made the Pope's beard tremble with anger. Let's not talk about a lot of the details above, I don't know how harsh it is, but in fact, the rationality is quite questionable.
But when Pope Hughes subconsciously glanced at Ishta, the corners of his mouth appeared, and there was a hint of a smile? It seems that he has already calculated, as long as he is rejected, it will definitely be difficult immediately.
After a moment of silence, the Pope whispered: "The document is too thick, I need to look at it slowly, and I can't make a decision alone, I need to consult with the bishops, I don't know if I can be tolerant for a few days?" ”
"How many days will it take?" Ishtar muttered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a week." ”
